Detroit — The Red Wings earned their first victory of the season Saturday and much of the credit can go to Thomas Greiss.
The veteran goaltender stopped 40 shots, many of them acrobatic stops, as the Wings defeated Vancouver 3-1.
An apparent tying goal at 17:29 for Vancouver was taken away when Nils Hoglander interfered with Greiss, Hoglander hitting Greiss high while cruising through the slot.
Filip Zadina (power play) Robby Fabbri and Sam Gagner (empty net) scored for the Wings.
Zadina left the game in the third period after getting hit hard in the corner by Conor Garland.
